Frequently asked questions
Q.Is myasthenia gravis life threatening?
Treatment can usually help keep the symptoms under control. Rarely, myasthenia gravis gets better on its own. If severe, myasthenia gravis can be life-threatening, but it does not have a significant impact on life expectancy for most people.
Q.Why is myasthenia gravis called the snowflake disease?
MG is often called the “snowflake disease” because it differs so much from person to person. The degree of muscle weakness and the muscles that are affected vary greatly from patient to patient and from time to time.
Q.Can you live a normal life with myasthenia gravis?
Most individuals with myasthenia can lead a normal or nearly normal life if treatment is started on time. Myasthenia gravis or grave muscle weakness is a neuromuscular disorder that causes gradual progressive weakness in the muscles that allow the body to move (skeletal muscles).
Q.How long does it take to recover from myasthenia gravis?
Usually, it resolves in 2 to 3 months.
Q.What foods should I avoid with myasthenia gravis?
If MG medication causes diarrhea or stomach upset, avoid foods that are fatty, spicy or high in fiber. Avoid dairy foods, except for yogurt which can sooth digestive problems. Good choices include mild foods like bananas, white rice, eggs, and chicken.
Q.Does exercise help myasthenia gravis?
Exercise is helpful for people with MG, but patients should not embark on exercise programs that require maximum output and produce weakness.
Q.What can make myasthenia gravis worse?
Q.What is the usual surgical treatment for myasthenia gravis?
Thoracic surgeons often encounter and treat myasthenia gravis because the thymus gland, which produces some of the immune chemicals that cause the condition, is in the chest, below the throat. Removing the thymus gland—a procedure known as thymectomy—is a mainstay in the surgical treatment of myasthenia gravis.
Q.How long does it take to recover from a thymectomy?
The recovery time depends on the type of surgery. It may take 1 to 2 weeks or as long as 3 months.
